Wings of Defiance

Social Media: https://linktr.ee/shunaiart Lyrics: [Verse 1] Dawn breaks red over the wall A whisper lost, a silent call They took the gate, they took our ground Where human teeth can’t make a sound We’re cattle penned in paradise With borrowed fear in children’s eyes But I remember mother’s stare The steam that rose from empty air [Pre-Chorus] No cage of stone can hold the sky These boots were made to crush the lie [Chorus] Raise the blades – carve the wind Every scar that never mends For the ashes of the fallen For the truth that won’t be bidden We are the wings of defiance Flying straight through hell’s horizon Sasageyo! – hearts of wrath Fighting till there is no path That leads back to the cage we knew – Tonight the titans fall for you. [Verse 2] The horses run through forest flames I carve your name in ODM veins My brother’s ghost inside the nape A choice of rage, a second shape These teeth that grin from ear to ear Are just the mirror of our fear But fear’s a fuel – I’ll burn it fast The key is hidden in the past [Pre-Chorus] The basement waits, the truth is cheap But freedom has a price – sweat, bone and sleep [Chorus] Raise the blades – carve the wind Every scar that never mends For the ashes of the fallen For the truth that won’t be bidden We are the wings of defiance Flying straight through hell’s horizon Sasageyo! – hearts of wrath Fighting till there is no path That leads back to the cage we knew – Tonight the titans fall for you. [Bridge – softer, spoken-sung over strings] Mikasa… wrap that scarf again Armin’s sea is just a dream of rain Eren, what’s that sky you see? A world without a single wall, or just another enemy? [Guitar / orchestral break – rising, chaotic, then triumphant] [Final Chorus – double time, with choir] GIVE YOUR HEARTS! (Sasageyo!) FOR THE HELL WE CHOOSE TO KNOW! RAISE THE BLADES! (Sasageyo!) LET THE MONSTERS SEE THE GLOW – OF HUMAN FIRE, HUMAN WRONG, A SUICIDE BATTLE CRY SO STRONG THAT EVEN TITANS LEARN TO FEAR THE DAY THE CAGED BIRDS DISAPPEAR! [Outro – fading drums, lone flute] Beyond the walls… the ocean breathes… And somewhere in the salt, we’re free. (whispered) Sasageyo…
